A friend was speaking about why they wait to have sex in a new relationship.  “The whole process of courtship and anticipation leading up to the moment of intimacy,” Love says, “makes the act of two people surrendering themselves body and soul to each other a magical, and spiritual experience that brings two people so close to being one.”  Patrick B McGinnis, LMHC, Sex Therapist, Relationship Counselor says, “Go slowly, take the time to really know the other person. Once you become sexual it can seem like love but it often isn’t.”  I agree.  I think some things are meant only for those we’ve known awhile. I’m never ready to jump into anything simply because the chemistry is there. Unless I think someone is going to be a significant part of my life, I just don’t go there.
